Also, participants in this initiative of the D.O.

This initiative is part of the cycle of promotional actions carried out by the denomination for this 2021, which has allowed the wines of Monterrei to have reached cities such as Madrid, Alicante, Santander, Santiago de Compostela or A Coruña. “Before the end of August we wanted to carry out such an activity in Asturias, a nearby market, which always welcomes us with open arms, and which has allowed us to show our product, first hand, to the catering, hospitality and distribution sector, in order not only to strengthen our presence in this market but to open new marketing channels for our wineries, “said the president of the C.R.D.O. Monterrei, Lara Da Silva. “Of course, the fact that we were able to bring together professionals from all over Asturias has been a success, and we left satisfied to have shown, once again, the greatness of Monterrei”.
